JASPEN

A box made from jatoba and aspen .I like the colour combination which created a nice fresh look .The design is a play of corner splines with a vertical spline added and spacing of the splines .The top lines are a continuation of the vertical splines and the lid corners are a inlay made from birch bark .The lid lift is very subtle but works well and the tray is easily removed as the lid opens wide with the barrel /SOSS hinges I used for the first time .The tray and bottom are lined with a upholstery material .The tray dividers are simple bent pieces of aspen with a lace wood lift handle .The box is finished with satin spray lacquer and will get a wax coat when the lacquer has cured .Hope you like it .

Very nice. You are refining and refining what seems to be becoming a signature style.
.......... and a beautiful signature it is!I like the purity that the aspen brings to this piece. I never thought of it as being that white.
